Wind check you might want to check it. It could be that those "20 year old balls less" pilots are actually just young men who busted a gut to put themselves in a position at 20 to go to flight school, with that childhood dream of flying just as you did, did well, graduated and realised that the self improver turboprop freighter, instructor whatever work has completely dried up, it DOES NOT exist on the scale required. The ONLY option are these airlines and going in to yet more debt to be able to keep our heads above water and pay our current debt.

It's alright to insult from a distance, but don't tar everyone with the same rich daddy, Facebook poser brush. There are many strokes to brush back. Why did you not go out on strike the day Ryanair et al suggested paying for a type rating?

Sorry to rise, but too often young pilots bear the brunt of a problem that is not entirely their fault. Of course some contribute, but the profession and industry as a whole must take responsibility. It's far too easy to place the burden on those who don't have a voice on the flight deck.
